Davallia Feegensis, aka Rabbits Foot Fern.
The roots are fluffy and it looks like a dozen hairy tarantulas are poking their legs out of the pot.
I picked one up to show my partner at B&Q and even though I'd prepared myself for the heebie-jeebies the plant gives me, I still jumped when I looked back at it in my hand 😅 Felt itchy the rest of the day
Omg yea so creepy
I have this fern and I love it! 😄
My most alien plant is a Monkey Tail Cactus. It looks like a giant living spider. Super easy to grow, love it!
There are a lot of weird orchids and some with bizarre flowers, like most of the Bulbophyllum and Dracula species. Tropical vines like Pelican flower (Aristolochia grandiflora) and Flame Lily (Gloriosa Rothschildiana) look normal until they flower. The Bliss or Spoon type African Daisy (Osteospermum ecklonis) also look like normal plants until they bloom and look like something out of this world. An outdoor plant that creeps me out is Doll’s Eyes, also known as White Baneberry (Actaea pachypoda) Sometimes in the fall you come across them in the woods near where I live and they really do look like bunches of little eyes on bloody stems.
Definitely some carnivorous plants like Nepenthes Rajah, which is the biggest pitcher plant ever and is known to eat birds and mice, spooky!!
I have a rajah x Robcantleyi hybrid that everyone is dying to see the size it reaches when mature. It was a fairly new cross so no one has a mature specimen yet. For reference, Robcantleyi pitchers can reach the size of full wine bottles :)
I’m so proud of that plant. I am also growing rajah too.
@@JessicaandDolinBFFLs Woow that's Soo cool, good luck with your plant!
Some bizarre looking plants that I keep are pseudolithos cubiformis, tephrocactus geometricus, heliamphoras, cephalotus, darlingtonia, sarcenia(especially purpurea) and wooly sundews.
I have a skeleton key and I can tell you why its not seen a lot. they don't like to size up and when they are juvenile leaves they look like any other epipremnum. its like the blue Cebu but worse when trying to get it to mature in captivity. the good thing is It grows very quickly.
I have one that isn't mature yet - but I like the way it looks in the juvenile form
I had the flying squid briefly. I was foolish and didn’t check if it was in a plug. The surrounding soil was chunky so I watered more often. Then in rotted in the plug very quickly 🤦 It was $14 usd when I got it, but I haven’t seen one since. I’d try one again. My collection isn’t very aesthetic as a whole, so it would be fine 😂
Epipremnum Shangri-la and Syngonium Godzilla. I also find purple plants pretty otherworldly, like Gynura aurantiaca and Strobilanthes dyeriana
The squid one would be fun in one of those tiny planters that looks like a little person or a face/head… it’ll look like hair sticking up in a funky ponytail. Probably cute on a desk.. it can look good styled on a receptionist’s desk (doctor, dentist, salon, etc.), at a register / check-in / check-out desk for a small business/shop… coffee shop.. 🦑🌱🪴👽
This has actually made me want one 😅 that would be so fun!
I would say the epi skeleton key doesn’t necessarily start out as a ‘regular’ epipremnum pinnatum. The leaves are very dark with beautiful veining, and they are narrow and lance shaped. I love it, even when its immature. Getting it to ‘key’ is challenging. I’ve gotten some beautiful fenestrations but….
I could see anthurium peltigerum fitting this vibe
There are a few Cryptanthus that could definitely give off the Halloween vibe and possibly some alien vibe as well. Also lithops could definitely give you and alien vibe.
Blue Oil Fern!
One of my favorite weird plants is the Tephrocactus Geometricus, basically round balls stacked on eachother .
Forbidden pistachio gelato 👀
The Colocasia Pharaoh Mask is beautiful but i agree, hard to grow and so thirsty ! I moved mine to semi hydro because i couldn't keep up with wattering in the soil. It was easy to propagate from the runners, i have 3 now and i have to stop :D
Alocasia Flying Squid is somewhat easy for an Alocasia, i just moved one to self wattering and it didn't skip a beat.
Begonia Amphioxus is easy in my oppinion, i have mine in room humidity (40 to 60%) and it is doing well in self wattering and in soil too.
I have a Begonia ferox and have found it difficult to grow even in a terrarium. The only bonus is they propagate easily even from half dead leaves. If I was to suggest a succulent for the list I would say the Albuca spiralis.
IMO it's hard to beat Nephentes and Drosera in terms of creepy otherworldliness :)
This! Especially Nepenthes hamata or Edwardsiana
I am in love with the flying squid, want one right next to my red cuprea and tillandsia medusa
Thank you for bringing light to the skeleton key, I love mine so much. But with alien, let’s talk about the blue oil fern. Blue plants aren’t a normal plant, and the color that it shows off is just incredible. Happy pumpkin day 🎃🎃
Amorphophallus should go on this list!
Can we start a petition for kaylee to go back to saying “and welcome to this weeks video” 😍😇
I honestly like what she's doing with the little changes. Feels less automatic.
@@tinabeall22I agree!
Can we start a petition for Kaylee to go back to making videos other than rankings
@@jhndr0nia I’ve watched her for years, she’s always done rankings. Her rare plant indexes from 2-4 years ago were literally genus rankings
@@fabulously695 Not exclusively tho
i had never seen the flying squid but OH MY GOSH it’s SO cute and cool, i would LOVE one😭 it would look great on a shelf with books !
Hey Kaylee, I got a Begonia Ferox this year and I can say it grows relatively easy with bit higher humidity and bright light. I love it but unfortunately mealybugs love them as well (they like to sit between the spines), so you should periodically scan the leaves. If the ferox feels comfortable, it grows very quickly. I would love to show you a picture, but can't download anything here.
Best regards from Germany to Uk,
Sabine 😊
I wish you could I would love to see it also they're so cool looking
I just got one a month ago. Good information. Thanks!
Definitely a philodendron tortum! 👽
I've been growing my Pharaohs Mask in a mix of tree fern fiber, perlite and sand. It sits in a saucer of water and it's been doing great.
Ooo bulbophyllum orchids are weird as hell, i love them to death
Alocasia cuprea 'Red Secret' gets redder in darker conditions.
Tillandsia usneoides - hanging down from whatever. Always spooky.
Aloe Spider - when in lots of light, the arms turn purplish and it looks like lots of tentacles reaching up.
I have a leggy Begonia Hemsleyana Silver that looks like something from a sci fi landscape (when it's fully hydrated - she's very thirsty!)
I have an Epipremium Skeleton Key baby. Looking forward to mature funky looking leaves.
Rose of Jericho you can get any many metaphysical shops! They are known for their ability to come back to life after looking dead. They symbolize rebirth, resilience, and new beginnings.
This video was such good fun! Not only was it entertaining trying to guess them but all of them are either ones in my collection (veitchii, red secret, skeleton key, tiny dancer), have been (pharaoh mask was so difficult to grow from corm) or will be (making a bioactive begonia terrarium for my husband as a birthday present and hoping to add a flying squid to the collection)!❤
Oh I have a good one... Mimosa Pudica (Sensitive plant)! Not so much visually, but the fact that they move when you touch them is pretty alien like
Ooo I second this one!
Oh my God Kaylee that begonia ferox It's so cool I got to get it I want it
It’s a succulent but Trachyandra Tortilis has the wild wave like shape that almost looks like a doodle. For another plant, it’s not the leaves, but the blooms of Orbea Variegata smell like carrion and look like a demogorgon.
I was thinking of this one and Albuca spiralis as looking like somethig from an alien landscape! To be honest most Trachyandra are a bit odd looking.
(Weird plants below) I am going to comment on all of your new videos asking for this. I'm not on IG, but you said you read the comments. Can we get an update on your orchids please? I remember you had some jewel orchids. Do you still grow them? Did you try anything else?
Staying on the topic:
Begonias freak me out. Idk why. They give me the creeps. I love something a little weird in a collection, but there is something about begonias that makes me go "ugh, ew". 😂
Hairy philodendrons also disturb me on a very deep level. Velvety? Sure! Fuzzy? Maybe. Full on hairy? Nope, absolutely no.
Here's what I did to add a bit of personality to a pretty basic (Monstera, Anthurium, Epipremnum) collection:
- Air plants. There is not one person who comes over for the first time and doesn't ask about them.
- Seifadenia Mitrata. Unless you get really close and personal, it looks like a weird tentacle mess. I have it hanged on a picture frame. It's one of the more difficult orchids to grow thugh, I see a lot of us are struggling with it, but if you want to try it, I'd say go for it. With caution and research.
- Trichocentrum Stacyi. Long thin tentacle leaves. I actually have this in the mail, can't wait for it to arrive. I wanna display it on a bookshelf with the Anthurium Vittarrifolium.
- Psychopsis Mariposa. It's just not a look you expect. The pseudobulbs look almost like rocks or eggs, the leaves are thick and leathery, and new growth will have a phase where it looks like a spear. I'm also excited to see mine bloom, cause the flower is on another level of weird. It looks like a giant insect.
- Paraphalanthe Frida. Have you ever wanted a skeleton in your collection? A green fish skeleton that makes some gorgeous flowers every now and then? It's rigid, spikey, quite slender, and definitely a conversation starter. It's supoosed to take basic Phalaenopsis care.
When I got my amphioxus I expected it to be difficult but I don't think it's ever lost more than a couple old leaves and that was after having it for several months. It sits in a terrarium where I mostly just leave it alone. Not sure how typical my easy-going experience is but I love looking at my alien boi.
I feel bad that I can only think of succulents to add to the list but the main "alien" plant that comes to mind for me is Welwitschia mirabilis. In addition to being an absolute wonder of evolution and biology if you dig into the science part, in the wild it looks like Cthulu got beached and died in the sand. And if you get a close look at the crown it grows from it looks like the mouth of a sand worm from Dune or something. Some people might thing it looks like a giant rotting cabbage and *it's definitely an acquired taste* (take a shot, lmao) but it looks very alien-like and there is nothing in nature that grows like it, nor any species left alive that's even remotely closely related.
Definetly Decarya madagascariensis. It's like a little dried out tree in a sort of grey colour and it has tiny tiny leaves. You have to look it up.
i love your lists, but i am HERE for this video! my plant collection theme is, "the weirder the better" when possible lol, i have lots of the "standard" plants too, but my heart is drawn to the weirdo alien oddball babies
Ceropegia stapeliiformis var serpentina must be one of the most weird otherworldly plants with evil looking flowers.
Mirkwood vibes
Bucephalandra kedagang and other dark Bucephalandras like the godzilla variety are covered with tiny pearly shimmer and look both dark and a bit alien. Plus they belong to the aroid family! They stay small and compact and need very high humidity and can also be grown completely aquatic.
Would also highly recommend you check out Labisia, almost all Sonerilia and Piper parmatum!
May hv already been commented on, but I'm pretty sure reassurection plant is called Jerusalems Rose. Very very cool.
Great vid!
The Geo plant is another one that should be in the list!!! Glossy dark leaves that need high humidity 🤪
Such a fun video. Pretty sure the photo you used for the Begonia Ferox was actually a Melanobullata. The difference being the Melano has hairy spikes and the Ferox spikes don’t have hairs to my knowledge. Not sure about the flowers, more of a foliage fan. Happy Halloween 👻
I have a begonia ferrox, have had it for years! I love it because it is just so weird. It lives outside in the summer (in shade) and limps through the winter indoors (i live in Ottawa, Canada). Definitely looks like it's from another planet 😄
Colocasia Pharaoh's mask is very easy to take care if you know how. I have 3 of them and they just live in water. That's the key!! Liquid fertiliser ever week and mind you to leave the water from their trays in there . Sunloving too!! Propagation is from their runners. Very easygoing
I'm have this colocasia mask very hard take care lots food and water but careful, love every bug
Long ago, I got a resurrection plant as a kid for Easter.
I have a pharaoh's mask and UGH it is so hard to grow! It came wiht one biggish leaf, but now all the leaves are very small and I have a hard time with it. Colocasias in general are proving to be difficult, but I love them so much!
I have a A. Amazonica with the same wide sinus between the lobes, very much like the A. Loco. I've had it for almost 3 years, and it is somewhat shorter in stature when it matured then it's parent. Also, the leaves tend to be far more curled then the parent it comes from, with the tips and edges curling, but not consistently like with the A. Loco. It was in the pot with the parent when I brought it home. The parent sinus is completely normal, with lobes that overlap like most A.Amazonicas. So, I'd be inclined to believe the A. Loco is a rare mutation.
Also, that particular A. Amazonica is what kick started my hardcore plant collecting. I have a collection now of 3 mature ones (with a few babies in the pot), and 1 baby standalone who'll join the pack once she grows up. I put them outside in the summer, and they come back in happy as clams, but all battered up like they've been to battle. They grow like weeds for me.
The anthurium Kollmanii literally looks like a alien head!
Conophytum pageae and Conophytum burgeri are definetly contenders for this list from the succulent realm. Especially the C. pageae just freaks me out.
(just an honorable mention, since you focus more on leafy plants)
Those are so weird omg, I'd be so freaked out to see it in the wild 🫣
Love the Camdon Market black spikey begonia !
Lion dance plants have a more complete leaf. While the beaek dance has angel-wing type petals.❤
I would say the anthurium veitchii is more ~*_vanilla_*~
Anthurium draconopterum is another one that fits in well with the alien collection
I can imagine it next to a king anthurium ✅
There’s some beautiful plants on that list! I like anything different.
Mom loved her rabbit foot fern I called it the tarantula plant 😅😂 love all you videos by the way ❤
So many Cacti and succulents that look alien, perhaps something for a future video?
Few otherworldly ones that came to mind -> Some Aloe looks like alien tentacles, Crocodile fern, The blue boy (Can't remember plant's name but many here might ques the one I mean), Gynura aurantiaca and some of the cactus (there's couple that look like brains or coral) too
As a someone loving a lot bit of alien/halloweeny jungle aesthetic loved this vid. Dunno why I can't bring myself to like Veitchii or skeleton key tho. It's probably because they are too normal of a green that their shape makes them look just somehow malformed or something. Veitchii especially is weird because I do like scaly/lisardy looking things usually.
Any tips on begonia or Alocasia care woyld be apriciated too. With those plants it feels like they just die if you look at them the wrong way. :/ Only Alocasia I've found out to be chill enough is Polly/Amazonica.
I freaking love my skeleton key! One it’s an amazing grower (like reaches the top of the pole I’m a few months and needs a chop again)
I also think the Philodendron tortum is a cray cray plant.
Silver Squill/Leopard Plant (Ledebouria Socialis) it looks like something you would find growing on a fantasy Venus Planet.
For me the weirdest and at the same time somewhat irresistably beautiful are 1st Alocasia Cuprea and 2nd Begonia Ferox.
I miss here carnivorous plants - such as Nepenthes and Sarracenia (Purpurea/Rosea are truly stunning).
I was just thinking "I hope you include begonia amphioxus" and the next second you did! I have mine in a terarrium and it grows like grazy ❤
The Strongylodon macrobotrys ( jade vine) is pretty alien looking 😲 The Corpse plant is also something else 😀🇨🇦
I get alien vibes from my P. tortum... the way it unfurls... just a weirdo and I'm here for it!
Yess! So weird 😂
I love the dragon scale alocasia, I hope I don't regret buying one when I had a chance.
@Wildfern has a big one of the begonia anphioxus. Beautiful, gorgeous plant. Out of a terrarium, I believe.
I want the Pharaohs mask ! I love Colacasias ! Have about 10 varieties.
Hoya spartioides grows with no leaves and only a single flower at the end of its vines. 😊
Most carniverous plants. Some of the few plants that move or make traps to drown small animals. And the amorphophallus
If you’re looking for an alien looking plant, you should try Dischydia pectionoides, the weird bubbel-like leaves give it a really other worldly vibe. Plus I feel it is easy to care for in a normal living environment, flowers every year, and still fits in well with a “normal” collection.
My favorite weird plant is Pelargonium tetragonum their weirdness fall under tentacles. Another halloweeny plant I keep is Euphorbia platyclada aka Zombieplant (or zombie euphorbia, it looks dead, even when thriving). A memorable mention is probably the Stapelias a succulent where some species have flowers that smell like something died the plants themself look pretty boring though (the flowers are cool to creepy cool).
I have never heard of that Perlargonium but now I want it!
Hey Kaylee Ellen. I live in NYC and have a few Resurrection Plants. They last for years! I found them at a neighborhood botanica here in Harlem, NY
Ive always been fascinated by an adult goldei, the perfect spiral is just weird in the plant kingdom, also mother onions lol
I have begonia ferox, breakdance and amphioxus. I find them quite easy to grow. They're in my bathroom (the humidity is a bit higher than in the rest of the house) close to a south facing window so they get bright light but no direct sunlight. Amphioxus is on a pebble tray with my begonia serratipetala so they get a bit higher humidity.
Selaginella lepidophylla, the resurrection plant is a xeric spike moss that lives in the desert in northern Mexico and souther United States. It’s generally a lithophyte (grows in and on rocks) and has the amazing ability to desiccate entirely and rehydrate, that’s how it adapted to live in the desert. I have a hard time finding them. They’re sold alot by novelties. I have one, he’s small and beat up but he’s growing. Their care is really different from other selaginellas who are like ferns
There is also the Rose of Jericho which is also known as the [false] resurrection plant (but scientific name Anastatica hierochuntica)
As far as I was aware they are both poached from the wild, so not great...
@hberror404 interesting. I thought it was the other way around. Rose of Jericho will actually grow green and alive. And the other is the false one, it'll open and close but doesn't actually grow green.
@@kaitb07 the rose of Jericho aka the rose of Merriam is a different plant, Anastatica hierochuntica, and it does grow green and produce a tumble weed that opens and closes its seed pod when it gets wet. Anaststica is also from the Middle East. Selaginella lepidophylla is commonly referred to as the false rose of Jericho due to confusion about the two plants when European immigrants got to the American desert.
The resurrection plant is also called rose of Jericho but 2 different plants ho by that name. Supposedly some catholic sect used to take them out for Christmas but Easter would make more sense to me.
Resurrection plant is also called Rose of Jericho
Hatiora salicornoides- dancing bones cactus!
I know lots of people find monstera really unsettling and scary because of their holes. So maybe Monstera Adansonii, Obliqua or Dilacerata could belong on this list
My sister loves her Small Form but can't deal with how mature Large Forms look, she says she has nightmares about my Thai Con 😂
Oh yes, the obliqua scares me a little
My most unworldly plant is probably my carnivorous drosera. Not exacly the vibe you have going on in the video, or shop. Else, I would probably choose my bubbley green on green monstera (tiny bubbly effect over the whole leaf, also making the leaf slightly weird shaped) or one of my dark begonias thst turn intense red if hit by light from the backside
I've seen alocasia loco in stewarts garden centre and it looked exactly like your pic 😂. Just bought a pharohs mask today before I saw this video, theyre very little shop of horrors lol
I have a black mambo begonia and also a piper crocatum. Both are super odd.
Bizarre begonia.................Never had one like that !
I feel like Anthurium Pedatoradiatum would fit here because HAAANDS!
I think NEPENTHES are the perfect Halloween plant
I agree! Although I do respect her steering away from the traditional carnivores plants for “otherworldly” category.
I have almost all the plants in this list … only one missing is flying sqid which I really love but is expensive and alocasia are always a bet!
Also... Begonia amphioxus is really hard to grow. I lost mine and I know what I'm doing and now I can't find them locally anymore.
Some.. like Memo, grows it big. IMO I dont like that. Is like this plant small. So cut and prop if you can keep it alive.
Love the video, was so much fun to watch 🎉 And happy halloween to you, too! 🎃🎃🎃
In regards to weard/otherwordly plants, take a look at the orchids of the Dracula family, the blooms look like skulls looking back at you - if grown large enough, you get a whole army of them 😂
My pharaoh's mask i got from you as a promotional thing grew out nicely. Weirdly enough it became my friends favourite & hes not a planty person 🙂
I have not watched one of your videos in a long time. I’m glad to be back. Also…you look stunning! I don’t know if you’ve been out running or what. But you look fantastic hun.
I wish you could see my melocactus oreas. It is the weirdest plant I have. LOL. it has the longest spines I have ever seen on such a small cactus
I’m surprised there aren’t any carnivorous plants here! Those are easily top of the list for me
I volunteer Catasetum Sanguineum as a pretty creepy and other-worldly plant! Bonus fun facts: They can have male or female flowers depending on light conditions (last year I had female flowers, and this year I have the more showy, male flowers. The male flowers eject their pollen at such a velocity as to stun bees, basically assuring they won't return to another male flower, but rather the different looking, but equally 'good-smelling' female flower. They have a strange, chemical/pharmaceutical kind of smell. These orchids are easy to grow, and confused botanists for several years with their changing flowers. Don't forget to google some pictures! ;-)
You didn’t include the cyrtosperma johnstonii in the list the avatar plant❤
I haven't seen a real one, but old man cactus looks super creepy. And there's a cactus that grows like a snake, but I like snakes. My children find my rabbit foot fern creepy as they say it looks like a tarantula...
Pharoahs Mask is beautiful
Oeceoclades spathulifera, more reptile than alien but pretty cool pattern an dark leafs
